Æon Flux (1991–1995)
3/10
numbingly tiresome eye candy
19 July 2000
I found Aeon Flux nearly unwatchable, in spite of the beautiful art and competent animation. I saw a pretty cartoon girl running around heavily armed but minimally dressed, in the devastated remains of an anonymous urban environment. She met people, and helped or killed them, apparently by whim. Other people tried to kill her for no visible reason. Of course, stopping or avenging her wonton killing would make rational motives, but I never saw any connection between the attackers and her victims were shown.

Maybe it all makes sense if you watch it over and over. Maybe it's entertaining if you're extremely intoxicated. But I have no desire to see it again, intoxicated or not, even if that will allow me to understand it.

I fail to see the appeal of the show.
